First term over and One year Anniversary!

I survived my first set of final exams. Two more sets of finals (terms) and I graduate. I passed and did alright. One exam I aced but I do not know my score yet. I did get a 87 on my Anatomy exam and my final grade is 94. I got an A in First Aid and CPR, plus I am certified for CPR now too. Monday starts the new term. I am looking forward to a fresh start.

I did not stitch every day this past week because I was studying for the exams. I did catch up on my new starts for Debbie's Ultimately Crazy Stitching Challenge on yesterday. The following pictures are 7 new starts.

This is me on January 14, 2014

Me on January 16, 2015.

I went to the see the nurse from the surgeon's office. I celebrated my first surgery anniversary. I had lost 70 pounds this past year. I am very proud in what I had accomplished. My life changed so much this past year and all for the better. I have more energy and I do not mind going for walks or doing chores. I like doing them now because I do not get so tired very quickly. I can do stuff. I love to go walking and I will continue to do so when the weather is a little warmer. I know I could have done better. I can make a whole bunch of excuses but in the end, it was me who made those wrong choices. I am being hard on my self and have been told that many times, but I am the only one I answered too. I am the one that I have to take of so I can live a long life. Before my surgery, I was heading to an early death. Now, there is big chance I can live a longer life and do more traveling and exploring this world I want to do. I need to loose more weight to enjoy these activities. I won't loose the weight if I continue to make the wrong choices. I would never regret having this surgery because I am living a life now and before I wasn't and for that I will always be grateful.

Vicky, your stitching is beautiful...you're going to have some lovely things when done.And congrats on such a great job with your school! And an even bigger congrats on your weight loss! So many of us have this problem (yes me) and seeing how much you've lost and how good you look gives all of us hope! You go girl!
